On a side note as I have mentioned it on discord: I have some aspects of anxiety and sensory processing disorder which help make up who I am.

|BLURB=Due to some OOC issues writing for Sheila Bailey I was tasked to create a new PC and Haukea-Willow, a passionate, open-minded and hyperactive Risian security officer was born. Her face claim is Maya Hawke, yet I find she takes more after my own care free unbothered attitude than either Maya Hawke or the character Robin Buckley that she played in Stranger Things.

|BLURB=Sheila Bailey became my PC after I had to retire Beelam for a while as she was becoming to difficult to write with out a plan/direction for the character. Sheila Bailey has become a character that flirts with woman as a way to make my sims more light and humors. Sheila represents the side of me that is confident and advocates for herself.

{{Citation|B-Plot Award|239706.26|2020 Award ceremony; 118 Ops|Lieutenant Bailey lets her character’s background shine through in every post. She manages to do this while keeping focus on the main plot and sprinkling in interesting little details about her character’s life, by explaining about the disadvantage Sheila has due to the difference in gravity she is used to. But also the history with her uncle keeps popping up like little teasers and not to mention the attention to detail when describing her attire when on shore leave for example. As an extra treat, this information and many pictures are added to her character bio-page making it easy and fun for other writers to dive into the Lieutenant’s life story.}}
{{Citation|Sheathed Sword|239706.26|2020 Award ceremony; 118 Ops|There are some species who come naturally with disadvantages and struggles. It takes a strong and committed writer to really delve into the realism of applying and over coming them. Aly, Sheila Bailey’s writer, chose an Elaysian to play as her primary character. This species is from a much lower gravity planet, which means she’s had to learn to traverse the universe with the aid of machines equipment. She poses realistic troubles of trying to run with crutches, which can on occasion result in tripping and falling. She dives into the physical changes her body has to go through as she adapts to the heavier gravity. Including discomfort, slowing down, thoughts and feeling that come with it as well. But she isn’t so invested in these disabilities that she’s unwilling to find ways to better her character’s health and well being. Lt Bailey seeks out the aid of Starbase 118 Ops’ engineering corps with the hope to better her equipment and mobility. There’s no perfect fix-all solution, but there’s better ways and Aly goes through all the motions to make Lt Baileys transitions, changes and growth feel very real. You want to cheer with her with each new achievement!}}

{{Citation|Xalor Clan Xifilis Award|239706.28|2020 Award ceremony; 118 Ops|Presented by Sal Taybrim: "Aly, the player behind Lieutenant JG Sheila Bailey, is an incredibly strong player who is passionate about disability awareness and portraying characters that are not disabled, but differently-abled, showing a true depth of characterization and an honest willingness to explore these characters and allow others to learn more about those characters through writing.
 
In the tradition of all the best characters in fiction, Aly’s characters are in part a reflection of herself and some of her real-life struggles. Some days she does not have the energy to write and Aly communicates well with her fellow crew on days when she needs to rest or take a break, and still maintains a full time posting and excellent writing. We can see in her love for her characters, a passion for this awareness in real life, as well as an overwhelming strength to shine through difficult times and bring something truly creative and meaningful to out simming on StarBase 118 Ops.
 
Aly, you have grown to be a brilliant and respected simmer on StarBase 118 and this shines through all the effort and passion you put into your writing. I am so proud to be able to recognize all your hard work and honor you in this year’s fleetwide awards!"}}
{{Citation|Natasha Yar Pin|240007.07|2023 Award ceremony; 118 Ops|Aly, the writer behind Haukea-Willow, faced some challenges in the past year which led to her creating a brand new character - Haukea-Willow in a brand new department - Security.  Change can be difficult and scary at the time, but in the case of Haukea-Willow, Aly has found the place where she can absolutely shine.  Her portrayal of a security officer with a sweet demeanor and a heart of gold seems like an unusual choice at first - because a security officer is a position where 'sweet' doesn't usually factor into the equation.
 
Yet, it works, and it works well. It works well because when in a position like this, it can be easy to always see the bad side of people, but Haukea-Willow breathes a breath of fresh air into the role. She would much rather discuss matters than resort to violence, yet that doesn't mean she's a push over.  When the going gets tough, she gets tough with it. There's a time for talk and there's a time for action, and Willow can engage in both when the situation calls for it.
 
This makes her a versatile and effective security officer who has been able to quickly create fresh bonds with her fellow crew and new relationships with her fellow security officers.  Coupled with the admirable amount of detail that Aly put into her sims, her character’s personality, family and background, I could not be more proud to see how well she has grown into this new role and developed Hauka-Willow as a lovable character on Ops.  It is my pleasure to recognize all of her hard work with the Natasha Yar Pin!}}
